The 1.21-acre brownfield site would also include 88 car parking spaces and 366 cycle spaces.

According to the application: “The site is situated to the northern edge of the city centre boundary as outlined in the Strategic Investment Framework, and within a Mayoral Development Zone, meaning it is earmarked as a site of high importance where development will accelerate the rate of economic growth, improve productivity, re-balance the economy, and develop a competitive edge both nationally and globally.”

Zerum is the planning consultant on the scheme, while Falconer Chester Hall is the architect. Thomas Consulting is the structural engineer.
